Silver Lining Time

April 22, 2020 Leave a Comment

I just got off the phone with one of my daughters.  She’s a math teacher in a public middle school here in New York and has to try to teach her 100 plus sixth and eighth graders “remotely”—mostly by way of links through electronic devices.  Her husband is in the same boat.  They’re both trying […]

Kennedy (1963).  An additional fourteen presidents are considered to have been the targets of assassination attempts.  Keep in mind that there have only been 45 presidents.  (On another occasion, when things are perhaps a bit less […]

Cruise ships are big—the ships are incredibly large and the number of worldwide passengers grows steadily.  Many of the big ships are four football fields long, a half football field wide and almost a football field high (imagine the field standing upright on an end zone).  Estimates for 2019 are that 20 million people went […]

About

I have been a political activist for more than fifty years.  Soon after college, I began driving a taxi in New York City and became an active member of the Taxi Rank and File Coalition.  That experience profoundly shaped my views and I remain friends with many of my taxi comrades.

In 1978, I stopped driving and entered into education work–which I then did for more than thirty years–almost all of it at the City University of New York.  That also profoundly shaped my views.

At the same time, I continued my political activities–most importantly as an editor of Race Traitor, an editor of Insurgent Notes and part of the editorial group of Hard Crackers.

The writings collected here reflect all those experiences.  My intention is to regularly post new things that I’ve written.

However you found your way here, I hope that you find something of value.  I would really like hearing from you about your thoughts and reactions. Write me here.
